Gyromitra californica, commonly known as the umbrella false morel,[2] is a species of fungus in the family Discinaceae.[1] It was described as Helvella californica by W. Phillips in 1879. It is considered probably poisonous.[3] However, poisoning reports do not exist for G. californica, and the toxin gyromitrin has not been detected in raw samples.[4]
